For more than a decade tech-savvy users on a budget would commonly buy a sub-$100 CPU and achieve performance comparable to $200-$300 chips by overclocking. These days Intel locks down its lower end parts, but to mark the 20th anniversary of its Pentium brand, they've released a fully unlocked dual-core Pentium G3258 for $72 -- just what the overclocking community has been waiting for. We'll put it through its paces in a couple of builds of our own.

Intel recently announced a new edition to its Professional Family of solid state drives, the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series. These new business-class drives offer a wealth of security and manageability features, fast performance and a lower total cost of…

Intel says overclockers can rejoice over the newest revision of its 4th-gen Core processor, codenamed Devil's Canyon, it promises a few improvements including updated packaging materials, more capacitors for smoother power deliver, and a boost in operating speeds up to 4.4GHz with Turbo Boost.

Intel took the wraps off its new Xeon Phi chip, codenamed Knights Landing, during the International Supercomputing Conference in Leipzig, Germany. It’ll be capable of delivering over 3 teraflops of peak performance which is nearly three times as fast as its…

Russian officials have said the American made chips running its government computer systems won't be there for much longer. The Russian Industry and Trade Ministry has plans to replace the US made Intel and AMD chips with ARM architecture similar…

Intel announced yesterday that its Q2 results will be better than expected due to stronger than anticipated demand for corporate personal computers. In other words, the end of Microsoft's support for its Windows XP operating system has boosted the demand…

A court in the European Union has recently ruled to uphold a long standing $1.4 billion fine against Intel based on its anti-competitive practices towards AMD. The case dates back to 2009, where the court initially ruled that Intel was…

Browsing around some of the booths at Computex 2014 I spotted several X99-based motherboards, which are primed to support Intel’s upcoming range of Haswell-E enthusiast CPUs. The X99 chipset supports four-channel DDR4, which is implemented in all of these boards, as…

To show off what can be done with their upcoming <5W 14nm Core M processors (aka. Broadwell Y), Intel has produced a reference 2-in-1 tablet codenamed ‘Llama Mountain’, which was on show at their Computex 2014 booth in Taipei.

In an effort to bring 4K to a wider audience, Intel has announced that it is teaming up with Samsung's display division to produce cheaper Ultra HD display panels. The announcement was made at Computex, one of the world's largest technology…

During Intel’s Computex 2014 keynote, the company announced a ‘new’ line of CPUs designed for low-power tablets and similar mobile devices. The new line, called Core M, isn’t unfamiliar to those keeping up with Intel’s roadmap: it essentially refers to…

At Computex 2014, Intel has officially launched and detailed their Devil's Canyon and Pentium Anniversary Edition processors which it first announced back in March. Focused on enthusiast PC builders, all three new Haswell-based CPUs have fully unlocked multipliers and are designed with overclocking in mind.

Intel is planning to launch a 3D printed robot later this year. The designs for the hardware will be made available online free of charge although interested buyers will need to shell out around $1,600 to purchase the remaining kit…

We’ve seen a bevy of fitness tracking devices emerge over the past year or so – mostly in the form of watches or wrist bands. But perhaps we’re going about wearable technology all wrong. Maybe it shouldn’t arrive as an…

A recent leak has revealed some information surrounding Intel's Devil's Canyon processor, which is set to be an enthusiast Haswell part designed for overclockers with new thermal interface material. Devil's Canyon was first detailed back in March, and it looks…

Intel may have just released a refresher to Haswell but if it’s a true successor you’re looking for, you’ll need to hold off a bit longer for Broadwell. Intel’s next generation processor has been talked about among enthusiasts for years…

Nearly six years have passed since the Core i7 series debuted as a 45nm part on the LGA1366 platform, which Intel has been refining over many iterations through its tick-tock philosophy that follows every architectural update with a die shrink. Today's release isn't a tick or a tock, it's simply a refresh. But while we don't expect much more than slight speed bumps, the company has also released new 9-series chipsets, and we happen to have a few motherboards on hand.

Back in April, Intel began quietly shipping their Haswell Refresh processors to a limited selection of retailers, ahead of the official launch of the CPUs and new 9-series-based motherboards designed for them. Now Intel is making it all official, having…

So, this is a bit weird. Today marks the official introduction of Intel's 9 Series chipset. Motherboards based on the chip have been selling for weeks, and we've even reviewed one of 'em, but the press embargo for the chipset didn't lift until just now. Go figure. This chipset launch is unusual in another way, too...
